Waredaca!!!!!

What a great weekend we had!!!!
Callie (California Comet) rose to the occasion! She ended 2nd on her dressage score of 28, after a clean cross country and a clean show jumping! She was every bit as lovely at Waredaca as she was at Loch Moy last weekend. Relaxed and rideable in the dressage, brave and athletic in the xc, and careful and confident in show jumping! I love her.
Alexa Henry did an awesome job with Fancey, getting a 34 on her dressage. We had to do cross country as our second phase, not a plus for Fancey who never really had the opportunity to school xc. She simply doesn't understand it yet! Next spring though, she will be in the top placings every time!
Lexi did awesome on little Ernie (Sesame Street). He was in a mood for dressage, which he often is, but Lexi pulled off a 46. She piloted his little rear end around cross country, and rode one of her best show jumping to date! She ended with a score of 50.7 which would have been 6th or 7th in the junior divisions. Lexi was in my division for some reason, putting her in 11th. Not bad out of a very competitive division of 20!
Kari had her best competition to date. Knick was IN A MOOD when we first got to dressage warm up, but Kari worked him thru it and it only got better once in the ring!
Showjumping was amazing, and they rocked it out XC. Knick and Kari ended on their dressage score of 32.
We all had a great weekend! Many thanks to my friends Katie and Sharon for coming and helping. Also Callie's lucky dressage charm Alexa.
Of course, a big shout out to the best husband and daughter in the whole world!
So my mares are going to have a little down time while my students finish with a few more events, and short courses. This winter we will do some dressage shows and jumper shows to stay sharp.
Check back to see how we do at Waredaca unrecognized, Rubicon, Maryland's short course, FMF, and the Jumper show series at Serra Valley which starts on the 28th of November!
